Greetings Commanders,

Rather than creating multiple separate threads,
Please use this thread to discuss any bug experiences with Elite: Dangerous.

Common issues and solutions will be updated in this first post as they are found and validated.
Please provide your ticket number to help track issues: https://support.elitedangerous.com/login.php

The more concise information you give in the post, the better. This will allow the team to track your problem down swiftly.
Screenshots to visually illustrate them are welcome, but please enclose them in spoiler tags for readability.
For example "It's not working, fix it" does not help anybody, whereas :

  • Using version 1.02 of the game
  • Hyper jumped from Shinrarta Dezhra to Crucis sector DB-X B1-6
  • Disconnected after 30 seconds in hyper space
  • This has happened on 2/5 attempts
  • Last failure was at 12:05 on the 18th Dec
  • The last success was at 11:45 on the 18th Dec

Providing a breakdown of your machine specifications, OS version etc. can also help get your problem solved sooner.

Thank you.

Unrecoverable error on transaction server

I keep getting this error when I try to jump from system to system. It started about 2 days ago, just assumed it was part of the connection issues that everyone was having, but it seems like most people today are reporting things back to being fairly stable. So far today it happened on my first jump I attempted, and then I made 3 my next time I connected and it happened on the 4th. Last night it was pretty bad to the point that I just gave up after 5 or 6 attempts trying to make one jump. Is anyone else having this issue?

I really hope that the version number still being visible is a bug. Having it in the main menu screen is fine, but having it in the actual game? Why? It looks bad and serves even less of a purpose than it did during Beta/Gamma, which is to say: none.

That's a shame. I found everything smooth from Gamma 2.07 and played last night through to early morning (UK time zone). That's all I can tell you if it helps you eliminate network issues. There are people on these forums who are more informed than me so I won't 'guess' it's to do with your end as I am not knowledgeable enough to comment.

I hope you find a solution.

EDIT: This is weird. My post is to Jigsaw about connection.

Download issue of v1.0.0.0

Not sure if anyone else has had any issues downloading the complete release, as I only have the Mercenary pack so have been playing the tutorials until now. Just to let you know my issues and they seem recoverable.....

It wouldn't start straight off the bat, then an error appeared I pressed the install button again and it worked fine. About a 1/3rd of the way through similar issue, pressed the re-install button again and it had stored the previous download progress and started again.

Downloading at about 1MB/s and it's probably going to take about an hour I am guessing.

When I try and purchase a type-6 without trading in my existing ship I hit confirm and it returns to the starship services page with no transaction occurring.
I can buy and resell a Viper with no issues.

Sold under narcotics. It's included as a selection of drugs you purchase if you're into selling the naughty stuff.

I have just lost two delivery missions I should not have lost, in the release game, on completing another delivery mission. I have ticketed this but I feel its important.
​
​The two lost missions were to deliver mining machinery to both Wei Jung stations (Bloch Gateway, Wandrei Enterprise), I managed to find two such missions in Aninohini. They had durations of 3 to 5 hours. So I took another delivery mission to Kungati and completed it at Elvstrom Prospect.
​
​At Elvstrom I took a fourth mission to deliver fruit and veg in system to Bernoulli Terminal which all took about 20 mins, whereupon instead of receiving mission complete for the fourth mission I received mission fail for the missions to Wei Jung system which I had not yet completed but had hours to complete.
​
​I include a screenshot I took because it looked wrong when I got it because one of the fails is "Values Party of Wei Jung" when they did not offer the failed missions, "Aninohini Future" party did. Though one the missions was to their station.
​
​I also received a fine in Aninohini and have cargo I cannot sell.
​
So if I have diagnosed what happened correctly ie completing one mission triggered fails on the two pending missions, attracting punitive results from the mission provider and one of the recipient stations.
​
​So the mission system appears to still be very, very broken FYI.

Now I'm a Paying Customer and not a Tester

I feel like it's time to stop reporting bugs and start complaining. Especially as this bug has been around through both Beta and Gamma testing, ticketed god knows how many times and discussed I don't know how many times on the forum but still nothing. I'm starting to think they don't know how to cure this.

Either way, can you please sort out the bug of System Authority ships turning against you at Nav Points when you have no bounty on your head and their rep remains CLEAN so you can't fight back, it is getting really, really annoying now. :mad:

p.s. As it's been around for so long I wonder if it is a bug. If not, why do npc's not have to follow the same law as us?

Ok, rant over (but it is annoying).

Route planner is unavailable (redded out) in the galaxy map screen atm, wasn't earlier but I have to map manual jumps for the present time.

I had this last night. It seems it's taking longer than before for the system to plot routes. I found that if you scroll back a bit closer to your starting point you can see it slowly filling in the lines between systems you can jump to. Then scroll a bit further on and it does the same again. Took a couple of minutes for it to let it route to my target that way but it eventually worked.

But then had the disconnect issue every 3rd jump or so anyway, I'll test after work today to see if 1.0 has solved that problem. It was causing a great deal of frustration as it never remembers your route between log ons.

First of all, try to be civil
No game (literally 0.. none... zilch... nada) has come out bug free, especially on release.
If you want to help continue the success of the game, then I would suggest reporting these issues rather than throwing your toys out of the pram.

Ok, so with that out of the way, please refer to this post: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=76585

There is no need to make multiple posts on the subject.
